Mike Dawson has become one of the most thoughtful white male comics pundits as shown in his collection Rules For Dating my Daughter. He’s back at The Nib with Dispatch From a Sanctuary City that views current controversy over immigration and crime in the New Jersey commuter town Red Bank (Also home to the Comic Book Men, if that helps with the context.). In addition to these issues, white rage, internet culture and local politics become part of the story.
